Chapter 907 The Idiot's Order

During World War II, Germany developed a series of advanced tanks. After the Cold War, in order to cope with the Warsaw Pact's rolling armored torrent, Germany also developed its own advanced tanks. Until later generations, Leopard 2 has firmly sat at the top of the tank rankings in Jane's Defense Weekly.

Firepower, protection, mobility, every aspect of performance is very good, among which, mobility is due to the MB873Ka-501 engine developed by MTU. This 4-stroke 12-cylinder V-shaped 90° angle water-cooled pre-combustion chamber turbocharged intercooled diesel engine has a power of 1500 horsepower at 2. When other countries in the world are still using 1000 horsepower engines, and the maximum is no more than 1200 horsepower engines, the Leopard 2 tank is already using a 1500 horsepower engine! Moreover, this powertrain is very compact, which makes tank designers in other countries in the world very excited.

Even the power system of China's Type 99 tank uses the WR703/150HB series diesel engine. This engine was developed based on the MB870 series V-type liquid-cooled diesel engine of Germany's MTU company and has some origins with the Leopard 2 engine.

This engine is not only powerful but also has low fuel consumption, allowing the Leopard 2 to have a maximum road range of 550 kilometers.

This is just the journey under ideal conditions. It is like when testing a car, all the weight is removed and even the driver has to be a short person. Then, when there is a tailwind, the distance a tank of gas can travel is measured and the fuel consumption is more than 5 per 100 kilometers. However, when actually driving, the fuel consumption may be as high as 7 or 8, or even more than 10 in the city.

The same is true for the Leopard 2. When driving, it is good to run 300 kilometers on the road, and the distance from Hanover to the border is more than 100 kilometers! Moreover, when they were halfway along the road, they drove off the highway according to the original combat plan and drove straight to the border, driving off-road all the way.

It was extremely quiet on the border and nothing happened. However, when the Leopard 2 tank reached the border, half of the fuel had been consumed!

"Tanker, where's our tanker?" Werner heard his commander shouting on the radio: "We need to refuel to be able to fight! We need fuel!"

When a tank's fuel is consumed by more than half, it needs to be refueled to avoid running aground on the battlefield due to insufficient fuel.

"The fuel truck is on the way and will be here soon. We need to wait." The battalion commander's voice came from the radio: "All crews, be alert. The battle may break out at any time! Our reinforcements are right behind us. As long as we hold on here for a few hours, the reinforcements will come!"

Reinforcements! Germany's reinforcements, of course, are other NATO troops! While the Second Army was advancing eastward, a second-tier NATO garrison, an armored battalion from the Netherlands, was also heading eastward from behind. When the Second Army's troops were deployed on the border, they just arrived at the Hanover garrison behind.

"General Alfred, we have been ordered to come to support." The Belgian battalion commander Benteke said to Major General Alfred.

"You are not here to support me, you are here to control me, right?" Alfred's voice was calm, but this calmness was only the silence before the explosion of explosives.

This Belgian armored battalion surrounded the entire garrison and took all the senior commanders of the Second Army under control!

Moreover, it is conceivable that the same phenomenon occurs in other places. This time, the Americans are playing with fire!

NATO does not have many troops stationed in Germany, and these people cannot control the hundreds of thousands of troops in West Germany. The Pentagon's plan is to use the excuse of exercises to dispatch more troops from the rear to Germany, but this plan will take too long and will alert the enemy.

So, General Bernard agreed with his subordinates and simply pulled the German troops to the border! This long-distance exercise made the German heavy troops lose their combat effectiveness.

As long as they are not given fuel supplies, those tanks and armored vehicles will become iron lumps! At the same time, the troops were sent up to control the senior military officers who stayed in the rear camp!

After all, the main force of West Germany is stationed not far from the border, and the station already has a complete command system, so the chief officer of the force, the army-level commander, will not go to the front line with the troops.

Moreover, the entire West German command system was established with the help of the United States. It would be too easy for the United States to cut off the connection between the various German military bases!

The NATO Command issued a false order, mobilized the German army, left the top German military officers behind, and controlled them. As long as they were controlled, the entire German army would be controlled!

Moreover, it won’t take too long, at most two days, and the troops recruited from other countries will enter Germany and be able to completely control the situation!

This is the plan of NATO Command, and it is also the new plan agreed by the Pentagon!

And the ones who were fooled by all this were the German army!

Facing Alfred's questioning, the Belgian battalion commander who came over also had a cold face: "I'm sorry, we are just following the orders of the NATO headquarters. We need to stay here to protect this place from the attack of the East German army. Please give orders to the front-line troops. Our reconnaissance satellites have found that the East German army is still being mobilized. The battle may start at any time. Our fuel trucks are on the way. Let them wait patiently. Let their tanks not be turned off."

Wait patiently? And then use up all the fuel while waiting? The proud German Second Army, the front-line cannon fodder against the Warsaw Pact, is now actually fighting among itself!

Alfred shook his head. "I will never issue any orders unless you remove me from my position and replace me with a new commander."

"In that case, I'm sorry." The Belgian battalion commander said, "General Alfred, you have been relieved of your post as commander of the Second Army because you disobeyed orders on the battlefield. I will take over."

Behind the Belgian battalion commander, several men with assault rifles came up and took control of everyone.

"Was it that idiot Bernard who issued such an order?" Alfred did not resist. He just said to the other party in a cold voice: "If he does this, it will completely infuriate the army and cause the entire West German Wehrmacht to change its flag!"

"I'm sorry, I'm just following orders." The Belgian battalion commander had come up at this time, took over his command, and prepared to give orders to his subordinates.
